Lan Jiaojiao's eyes suddenly lit up when she noticed a guzheng placed in the corner ahead. It seemed her inquiries were correct; Mr. Su Sr indeed enjoyed listening to the guzheng, and it was already prepared for the occasion.
She would have to perform well and impress both Mr. Su Sr and the other guests.
At the moment, Lan Yanhao wasn't looking too pleased either; he had guessed that they would be seated at the last table, subjected to disdain and ridicule.
The reason he was invited was undoubtedly because Mr. Long Sr was his father-in-law. No matter how strained their relationship, since he was invited, he had to show filial respect to avoid giving rise to gossip.
The banquet had not yet started, and Mr. Long Sr, the event's main character, had not made his appearance. Bored, Lan Jin decided to go out for a walk but was stopped by Lan Yanhao, who called out sternly, "Where are you going? The banquet is about to begin."
"I'll be back soon."
